Confronting Gender Based Violence: Global Lessons for Healthcare Workers
This course introduces participants from the healthcare sector to gender based violence (GBV), including global epidemiology of GBV; health outcomes; seminal research; and clinical best practices for GBV prevention, support, and management. A core curriculum is supplemented by lectures that contextualize the content with specific examples and programs from around the world. The core curriculum introduces learners to a global perspective on gender based violence (GBV), and includes a review with Dr. Claudia Garcia-Moreno of the new WHO guidelines on responding to violence. Students who wish to receive Honors Recognition will complete the honors module, which expands on the core material and highlights special circumstances and programs. This is an in-depth course with 2 components: 1) Core curriculum introduces GBV from a global perspective, with an emphasis on ensuring a strong health sector response to GBV and teaching key competencies for social workers, physicians, nurses, midwives, community health workers, counselors, and other healthcare workers. Completion of the core content is required for students to pass the course. 2) Honors curriculum offered by experts from around the world helps students dive deeper into certain issues, and touches on unique populations and specialized topics. Completion of Honors curriculum is required for those students who wish to receive a Certificate of Accomplishment with Honors. After taking the course, students will be able to: ● Describe the global epidemiology of leading forms of GBV and the evidence linking GBV to poor health. ● Articulate the challenges, strategies, and WHO guidelines for integrating GBV response within the health sector. ● Describe the components of a comprehensive clinical assessment, treatment, and management of a GBV survivor. ● Describe the appropriate psychosocial support and management of a GBV survivor. Module 1 – Introduction to GBV- Epidemiology and Health Impact GBV comes in a variety of forms, each with health consequences for the survivor. An understanding of these issues helps inform a comprehensive and multi-sectorial response for preventing and responding to GBV. Module 2 – Health Care Response, Screening, and Psychosocial Support Recognition of health impacts of GBV has led to calls to address GBV within the health sector. Support for GBV survivors extends beyond clinical exam and assessment. Safety planning, harm reduction, and access to psychosocial support must be ensured. Module 3 – Clinical Care for GBV Survivors Caring for GBV survivors requires compassionate, confidential, and nondiscriminatory clinical assessment. Competent medical and forensic examination, along with appropriate documentation, is essential. Honors Module – In-Depth Information and Special Topics This module provides additional materials for those who wish to explore specialized topics and gain a more advanced grasp of the complexities of addressing gender-based violence. Core course topics are expanded upon, and special populations and programs are highlighted. Special topics include violence in humanitarian settings, against adolescents and sex workers, and human trafficking. Further information is provided on epidemiology, policy, and ethical guidelines, as well as the use of mHealth in GBV screening and care. We’ll cover the unique challenges of GBV research, and explore programs that encourage men and boys to be engaged in the prevention of violence against women.

Становлення сучасної України
Україна мала існувати як суспільство та держава 23 лютого 2022 року, інакше українці не чинили б колективного опору російському вторгненню наступного дня. Що означає існування нації? Це питання структур, дій чи того й іншого? Чому існування України викликало такі суперечки? Яким чином польська, російська і єврейська самоідентифікація залежить від досвіду в Україні? Як і коли виникла сучасна українська нація? І як узагалі виникає будь-яка сучасна нація? Чому одні, а не інші? Чи можна вибирати нації і чи може такий вибір бути вирішальним? Якщо так, то які і як? Україна була державою, якої найбільше торкнувся радянський і нацистський терор: що ми можемо дізнатися про ці системи від України? Чи є постколоніальна, багатомовна українська нація пережитком минулого? Або вона має певні перспективи в майбутньому?

Modern American Poetry
Twelve experienced faculty members from across the United States present their analyses of ground-breaking modern American poets in richly illustrated video lectures. The course highlights both major poets—from Walt Whitman and Emily Dickinson through T.S. Eliot, H.D., Amy Lowell, Hart Crane, Langston Hughes, Muriel Rukeyser, and many others—and influential movements. The course mixes historical overview with close readings of individual poets and poems. Most courses give only one instructor’s point of view. This one matches the diversity of US poetry with lectures by a score of talented faculty. They bring their special perspective to the material while also presenting a coherent view of more than fifty years of US poetry. Throughout the course the lectures are illustrated with vivid images of the events, people, and places mentioned in the poems themselves. Readings by both the poets themselves and experienced faculty highlight the texts. On screen displays of text and quotations make it easy to follow the material. This is a course that takes advantage of the medium to bring you sights and sounds that would be difficult to incorporate in classroom lectures.

Teradata: Improving Analysis and Storage
This is the second course in our Specialization in Teradata and Data Analysis. In the first course, we set up the concepts, principles, and practical basics to install software, load data, and design a logical and physical data model. In this second course, we'll improve our techniques for data analysis, with an eye on efficiency and storage for your real-world applications on the job. In Module 1, we’ll grow your SQL Toolkit with multi-table, aggregate functions like SUM, AVG, MAX and COUNT. We’ll also expand your concept of primary and foreign keys, so you can make your first JOIN commands in SQL and define relationships between tables. Our second module is focused on SQL subqueries. We’ll start with single-row subqueries, comparing them to JOIN commands. Then we’ll examine multiple-row subqueries, which allow you to compare a value against multiple values returned from a subquery. In Module 3, we’ll examine SQL Techniques. We’ll recognize use cases and strategies to use windowed functions in SQL. We’ll define the structure of hierarchical queries in SQL. And we’ll identify for using indexes, so we can optimize our tables for data retrieval.
